Recently, the increase in demand for electric motors globally has resulted from the continued growth of new industries that use electric motors and the increasing number of industries that are moving towards electrification. As new industries continue to grow, electric motor technology is being used more in many different types of equipment (e.g. Industrial machines, robotic automation systems, and electric vehicles). Additionally, the electric motor is increasingly viewed as one of the primary drivers of system performance and energy optimisation for these industries.
Today the electric motor has transitioned from a basic component that generates power to being an essential element in operating efficiency, system stability, and intelligent control system designs. This has created a growing focus on developing suitable and reliable electric motor solutions for equipment manufacturers in many different industries globally.
Higher Expectations of Motors Driven by Increased Electrification
Due to the proliferation of electrification across many different sectors of the economy, electric motor technology is now required to operate efficiently in environments with increased complexity and frequency of starting/stopping cycles that occur within the new electrified environments. A wide variety of load types and continuous runs will require the electric motor's reliability, performance, and durability to be more significant than in traditional electric motor applications. Furthermore, through the increased electrification of new types of equipment (such as Automation Systems) and Through Technology Advancements, Electric Motors are now becoming the backbone of new electric equipment ( such as automation systems).
Accelerated Technological Developments Impacting Electric Motor Technology
Recent technological advances have focused on improving electric motor efficiencies through design enhancements to improve their electromagnetic characteristics, using improved manufacturing processes, cooling methods, etc. To continue to deliver reliable electric motor technologies that perform consistently, while being used in a variety of applications and configurations, these advances are required.
As the electric motor and drives continue to be better integrated with the controls that operate the motor/drives, this will allow a more efficient and successful use of the motor capabilities and lead to improved overall system performance.
Future of Electric Motor Technology
From an Electric Motor Technology perspective, the electric motor maintains growth toward improving its efficiency and longer life and becoming more intelligent due to the broadening use of electric motors for electrified and automated solutions across many new industries.
Electric Motor Manufacturers will also enhance their ability to support their customers by developing a better understanding of the technology and applications of electric motors and to develop better-targeted drive solutions that provide accurate and reliable operation of electric motor equipment (for maximum efficiency and sustainable operation).
In summary, as the trend toward electrified equipment continues to expand and develop, electric motors will continue to be the primary element of the electrification trend. As technology continues to improve and as new applications continue to develop, electric motors will continue to provide reliable, low-cost, efficient operations for electric motor companies and their customers.
